IB Learners are principled. They act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness, justice and respect for the dignity of the individual, groups and communities. They take responsibility for their own actions and the consequences that accompany them.

IB students are infused with the academic integrity that is a fundamental value of universities and colleges.

We use USB-A headphones while testing. Each student was assigned a set at the beginning of the year, but some of those are now out of service. Also, some students would prefer to use their own during testing. We do not allow wireless headphones at all, but if students have USB-A style headphones (see picture below), they may use them during testing.
